6. FEAR OF MISSING OUT
TREATMENT AND
PREVENTION.
. You can overcome FOMO by focusing on being
mindful, altering your habits, and working to be
more grateful for your own life.
 Evaluate your FOMO sources.
Perhaps you are jealous of your friends for going
on vacation when you don't have the money to do
so, or maybe you feel envious when others get
married because you don't have a
partner. Work to make peace
with these circumstances and to
change them if you can.

8.  Deactivate your social media
account
Social media has been found to cause
feelings of depression because it shows a
filtered version of life. This contributes to
feelings of FOMO.
Don’t say anything
online that you
wouldn’t want
plastered on a
billboard with your
face on it

9.  Meditate daily and do YOGA
 You can start meditating by focusing on a
certain word or phrase like “gratefulness” or
“I have a good life.”
 You can also meditate on a nice, quiet walk
after dinner.
Yoga functions like
a self-soothing
technique in that it
alters the stress
response system,
helping to “tame”
and quiet down the
nervous system

among human being specially
among students and youngsters.
It is feeling of anxiety,
depression and constant
sadness with arises when
people are without there phone.
Nomophobia or No-mobile-
phone-phobia was coined by the U.K Post office from
a research study which was done to find out the
cause of anxiety among
mobile phones users when

phone, ran out of battery or
credit, or have no network
coverage.”

11. The phobia part of the
term can be a little
misleading, as phobia
can suggest that you
are scared to be
without it. However,
doctors believe that it is
more of an anxiety disorder.
People who suffer
heavily with
nomophobia can
actually feel lonely
without their
phones, they have an
attachment to it that
equates to a loved one/partner. This can lead people
to isolate themselves from real company and can
even make them feel depressed without their
phones which is becoming very common these days.

is mostly seen in youngsters and
the most common causes are: -
1)Low self-esteem – Youngsters
who have low self-confidence
and self-doubt become victim
of nomophobia.

caused by the thought of losing social events and
consequent anxiety for
not being present. It is
also caused when a
person always wants
perfection in everything.
3)Social anxiety – People who have anxiety while talking
to people often fill their lives emptiness through mobile
phones.
4)Loneliness – People who feel alone and lonely aften
invent most of their time of phone and hence slowly

13. 5)Excessive work
load – People who
have excess
work load and they
have to constantly
be on phone they
adapt this habit of
using phone
everyday with an
excuse of
checking emails, calls, work messages etc.
6) Pastime- People usually
get into the phone to pass
their time when they are free
and bore by watching
something on phone, chatting
and reading and eat up
wasting several hours on
mobile phone.
These were some of the reasons why people suffer
from nomophobia and the bitter reality is many of them
are unable to realize that they are going through it.
Its high time that we should stop wasting our precious
times on mobile phones and use it for better purpose.
